Default Original windshield?

Bought my dream car, MY2000, 21k miles, almost too good to be true condition. I can't find any Honda stamp or emblem on the windshield. I thought they always had the H or said Honda if original. I'll try to post a pic soon, sorry, this is my first post. Thanks for any help anyone can offer.

S2000 windshields, due to the angle of the front end and the way the wind blows over the car, get BEATEN up
from stones, gravel, other road debris. I'm on my 3rd windshield and I have a 2005 and never cracked one.
Just the stuff from the roads pitting the windshield decreases the effectiveness of the wipers and impairs
vision especially in the early morning and late afternoon/evening when the sun is low in the sky.

So, I don't think you'll find a lot of S2000's that still have their original windshields.

Hope this helps!

I had a stone kicked up by a passing car when mine had less than 10K miles on it. I wouldn't be too worried about a non OEM windshield if everything else checks out.

Thanks! I'm not too worried about it, the seller just did not mention it. The car looks brand new overall. I wish it was easier to put pics on here.
